Game Concluded

Gabriella's eyes can't help but drift to her unconscious sister and the blood pooling beneath her as she reloads her weapon and takes aim.

Please hold on! Please hold on!

Also forgetting that Gabbi still has greater heroism active on her. :(

swift action to shift to Justice: destruction

Light Crossbow Attack - PBS: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 34 bane, greater heroism
Light Crossbow Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 + (1, 2) = 14 undead hunter, destruction, bane

Light Crossbow Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 26 bane, greater heroism
Light Crossbow Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 9 undead hunter, destruction, bane


Gabby's bolt embeds itself right between the zombie's myriad compound eyes. It thrashes about, spores leaking from the wound.

It's on the ropes! One good hit from Elka should finish it!


Game Concluded

Maybe if I'd actually rolled something other than 1s or 2s for damage it would be down already. ;|

Elká charges in and jumps the nightmarish creature. With her eyes half-closed, she swipes away at the thing with reckless abandon. Perhaps closing your eyes while in combat isn't exactly the best of ideas.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Hahahahahaha :(


Easily dodging Elka's strike, the creature darts past her, heading straight for Gabby!

Elka may take an AoO!

As the monster tries to run, another monster stirs. "No, no, no! Don't run, you're supposed to die, die, die!"

AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16


Her fury awoken, Elka rips open the zombie's side as it moves past her. Dark ichor pours from the deep wound, and at last, the horrible undead collapses at the changeling's feet!


Game Concluded

Gabbi drops her crossbow and kneels at her sister's side. Exhausted of healing magic, she still retains enough energy to prevent her further descent. She then does the same for the bleeding tiger.

stabilize on both

Finally satisfied that neither will die any time soon, she sits back against the stone wall. Pulling Allie's unconscious form into her lap, she whispers to her quietly. "You scared me, you silly goose. We're supposed to stay together."

"Take a seat, Elká, Ulrich. We're not going anywhere for a while," she says.

The taciturn woman continues to gently rock her twin while humming a quiet lullaby.

Rest here?

I think we'd be better off retreating a bit rather than resting a full 8 hours here. We could go to the graveyard and barricade the entrance, or even retreat all the way back to the treefort.

Ulrich waits for the fire shield to wear off, then goes over to Gabriella and Alessandra. He takes out his healer's kit and begins slowly stitching Alessandra back together. He works with calm, but fast hands in an effort to help Alessandra as quickly as possible.

Heal deadly wounds: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Takes 1 hour and 2 uses of the kit. Alessandra regains 8hp.


Game Concluded

I don't think we need to go all the way back there. It doesn't appear that there's any traffic moving though the tomb, so we should be reasonably safe here. Otherwise, we have to drag Ellie and the tiger all the way back.

Gabbi watches with concern as Ulrich tends to her sister's wounds while she continues to hold her. Once he finally finishes, she lays a cool hand on his arm. "Thank you," she says gently.

I suppose you're right. I am concerned about 'random' encounters though.

Ulrich's arm burns like a hot furnace compared to Gabrella's cool touch. He places his hand on hers and gives her a slight smile. Then he goes to stand up, stretch the old bones, then gets to work on Ellie.

Heal deadly wounds: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
That's 8hp to Ellie as well. I can't help the tiger since I only have 1 use left.

Ellie regains consciousness with a gasp and a cry of pain, reaching for her flail before looking around and taking stock of the situation.

She gives a weak smile: "For a moment there I thought we were in trouble."


Game Concluded

"Who, us?" Gabbi responds with a smirk and a dismissive wave. "We handled it. Didn't even notice you were out. You missed all the fun."

"Welcome back, Ellie. Please relax and lay down. Everyone is alive."

When she relaxes he will add. "I must tell you that you have sustained injuries greater than what a regular healing burst can repair. This will heal in time, but please be careful. Had I the time and supplies, I could halve the time for you to heal up, but I estimate five days before you are back to normal. If we rest for full days, you would heal much quicker."


Female Human Fighter (Lore Warden) 9 I HP 64/76 I AC 23 [T 14 FF 20] I Fort +9, Ref +7, Will +7(9) I Init +2 I Percep +1 I Conditions:

Ellie doesn't return Gabbi's smirk, instead giving a worried look at both Alessandra and the fallen tiger.

She puts a hand weakly to her side, testing the extent of her injuries, as Ulrich speaks to her. She nods. "Not going to argue with a few days' rest, Doctor. Ow. I'd say we've earned it."

What concerns me most is that wasn't even an end of level 'boss' encounter :(


Game Concluded

It sounds like we are staying for at least the night. Gabbi will have her spells back, so she'll be able to speed some of the healing along.

As the group settles in for a rest, Gabbi approaches the good doctor.

Ulrich:

"I wanted to thank you again for helping Allie," she says softly. "It means a lot to me. She's my ... the dhampir looks back over her shoulder at her sister before turning. "She's my whole world. If something happened to her ..." She shrugs and then reaches down to takes one of his hands between hers. The warmth of his skin seeps through her cool fingers. "I just need you to know how thankful I am." She pulls his hand up and places it on her breast. "I'd like to say 'thank you' in a more meaningful way when we get the chance." She leans in and touches his warm lips lightly with her own.

Assuming we get a full rest ...

Allie - Inflict Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 5) + 6 = 19

Don't forget that 8 hours of rest results in non-magical healing equal to your character level. You also heal 1 point of ability damage. Ulrich doesn't have the supplies for long-term care, but it seems like he's a bit busy anyways.

Gabriella:

At first Ulrich wants to finish Gabriella's sentence and assuage her fears, but he quickly realizes this is not a conversation and holds his tongue. He reaches around to place his hand upon her lower back and firmly, but gently, grasps her as they kiss. Ulrich's heart beats rapidly and his breathing gets heavier as he wraps Gabreilla in warmth.


Game Concluded

Stupid forum goblins ate my post! *grrrr*

Ulrich:
Gabbi tenses as Ulrich pulls her in tighter, but then she seems to melt into his arms as the kiss deepens. She pulls back after a bit, her eyes dark, and places a finger on his lips. "Later," is all she says. She then leans back in to nip lightly at his lower lip before slipping free from his embrace.

The inquisitor returns to sit down on the stone floor next to her sister and gives her a glare. "I told you I was out of healing. That's when you're supposed to refrain from things considered 'stupid'." She pulls her twin in under her arm and leans her head against Allie's. "We do everything together, don't we? Well I don't plan on dying in the near future so you can't either."


Fortunately, you pass the night in the tomb without incident. You are able to recover somewhat from the harrowing fights of the previous day.


Game Concluded

Once Gabbi expends her more powerful healing (see previous post), she utilizes some of the rest of it on Allie's other pet.

Cure Light Wounds on Cuddles: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Cure Light Wounds on Cuddles: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Once everyone is moving and reasonably healthy, Gabbi switches out her crossbow for the magical longbow and tests the pull.

"Only one way forward," she says, indicating the rough passage westward.


Empty shelves and display cases line the walls of this room. A stone door leads south. While many of the shelves are empty, a single statuette sits on the highest shelf, its sheen barely noticeable through a thick coating of grime. It turns out to be a figurine of a bronze griffon. The figurine is magical.

Map update tomorrow.

No matter how many times Elká sips from the bottle of firewater, the taste of the nightmarish creature's spore expulsion refuses to be washed away. As a result, the snarl on the changeling's face stays around even while she's asleep. "It's hard to do things the safe way when everything and everyone is out to kill you in the most murderous ways possible. Still, maybe I should shed this blasted heavy armor and put my skulking skills to good use. Heh, from sneaking about watching the cute boy to scouting out undead terrors that want to suck the souls out of bodies and use the husks that remain as animation fodder. Yay us."


Game Concluded

Gabbi weighs the figurine in her hand as she looks at her sister. "I think you already have enough things to take care of," she says with a wry grin. She hands the figurine to Ulrich.

Unless someone else wants it ...

She nods towards the southern door.


The eastern half of this large hall has collapsed, creating an impassable heap of stone and masonry. Water drips slowly from several cracks in the cavernous ceiling, forming small pools on the floor. The air here is dank, and patches of mold grow on bas-relief carvings of armored knights on the western wall. Identical stone doors lead north and south.

As you enter the room, three clouds of crimson vapor seep into the chamber from cracks in the damaged ceiling, smelling of fresh blood. They reach towards you with lashing claws!

Knowledge (dungeonering) DC 18:
These aberrations are known as vampiric mists! Their touch siphons blood from their victims, which they feast on to restore their own health. They resist nonmagical weapons.

Alessandra: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Dr. Ulrich: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Gabriela: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Mists: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Gabby may act before the enemies!

Ellie slept soundly and is all the better for a long rest, even if it is in grim surroundings. She grimaces as she spies the red mist descending from the ceiling.

"Oh great, more bloodsuckers. Careful - they resist nonmagical weapons."


Game Concluded

Knowledge (dungeoneering): 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 3 = 19

swift action for Judgement: destruction

Unsure if it will have any effect on the misty creatures, Gabbi draws back an arrow and lets it fly.

Longbow Attack - PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 = 21 magical bow
Longbow Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 3 = 10 Judgement: destruction

"Do you know how offensive that sounds, Blondie?" the inquisitor snaps at the Lorewarden.


The arrow sinks into the gaseous creature's body, and it recoils in pain. The mists then reach out for Elly and Elka, siphoning the blood from their bodies! The mists begin to move more quickly, overdosing on the delicious crimson liquid.

Touch (Elly, Elka x2): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

1 Con damage to Elly, 5 Con damage to Elka. Both are taking 1d6 bleed damage as well. Everybody may act!

"Hey! Don't take our stuff!" Gabbi shouts out at the mists before firing another arrow at the same creature.

Longbow Attack - PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28 magical bow

Ellie matches Gabbi's glare: "I've lost more blood in the last couple of days than I currently have in my body. So excuuuuuuse me if I'm a bit short with my choice of words."

She steps back out of reach of the mist, applying an oil of magic weapon to her flail while studying her target carefully.

Move action to apply oil. Standard action to use know thy enemy (+2 to hit and damage for 3 rounds). Free action to antagonise Gabbi.

"And besides, 'blondie' isn't an insult. I like my hair. Some of us have options other than 'pale-and-not-so-interesting' you know?"

The mistbeing's dreaded touch causes Elká to reel back in horror and forces the changeling to fight in a defensive manner. Regardless, Elká puts her sizeable posture into her counter-attacks. "Stop talking, start killing! Ahh!"

Alessandra is still unconscious but Gabriella, and anyone else who looks closely enough, can see that the tension on her face eases somewhat as her sister holds her.

First off, the tigers would have to be large and I don't think Cuddles is. Secondly... That's not arguing, dear, that's called foreplay. ;P

By level 10 they both will be ;) And I know its foreplay but there's a time and a place - preferably when I'm in the middle. ;)


Botting Ulrich.

Ulrich Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 4 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

As Elly steps back, Allie and Cuddles step up. The oracle hits the nearest mist twice, but barely seems to harm it, while the tiger misses completely. Ulrich scores a lucky hit with his crossbow, slightly wounding the same foe. Elka slashes another mist with a claw, and Gabbi finishes it off with another arrow from her enchanted bow. It dissolves into wisps of vapor!

The creature Allie struck attacks her, while the other reaches for Elka, siphoning blood from their body!

Elly batters the mist into oblivion, her powerful strikes causing it to evaporate! Only one foe remains.

With only one foe remaining, Elká smells blood - and much to her dismay, figuratively and literally. She goes all in and swipes away at her foe as a woman scorned. "No, no, no! This isn't yours to take! To the abyss with you!"

This is conditional on whether Elká's attack finished off the last one ...

Drawing another arrow, Gabbi lines up her shot with the creature as Elká engages it. She growls in frustration as the missile clatters uselessly against the wall.

Alessandra meanwhile steps back, her nostrils flaring at all the blood being thrown around. She places a hand over her own neck and whistles a signal to Cuddles to retreat as well.

Cast Bless if Elka doesn't kill it.


Elka slices the mist but doesn't kill it. Allie's spell gives her sister the extra edge she needs to score a hit, finishing off the last aberration!


RETIRED - ascended to godhood.

With the mists gone Allie draws on the strange, mutable part of her magic to start quenching wounds.

LR self: 1d4 ⇒ 3
LR Ellie: 1d4 ⇒ 2
LR Elka: 1d4 ⇒ 1
LR Elka: 1d4 ⇒ 2

That's almost all my Lvl 2 slots. I can do one more if you need it Elka...


Game Concluded

Gabbi slides the bow up her arm and stands off to the side as her sister heals where she can.

Pale and not so interesting?

One hand moves up self-consciously to her cheek. She looks down at the stone floor and frowns. She shakes her head in annoyance and begins searching around the room for anything else of note. She seems to be making a point of ignoring Ellie.

Just to note, Ellie, you hit her right in her weak self-image. ;)


There doesn't seem to be anything else of note in this room, so you proceed south.

Four narrow stone pillars stand against the western wall here. One holds a marble bust of a haughty human woman, while the others are surrounded by dozens of large chunks of broken statuary. A set of stone stairs descends to the east.

Tarnished metal plaques at the top of each pillar once stated the names of the Roslar family, but they have long since been scratched out. You recognize the bust here as that of Roslar's mother, Emmalisa. You saw it in the Boneyard's version of the tomb.

Poking through the marble chunks, yo ufind a ston tile several inches across with a stylized heart carved into on side.


Game Concluded

Gabbi rolls her eyes at the symbol on the tile as she throws it into the bag with the other one.

"Downstairs," she says, curtly.


RETIRED - ascended to godhood.

As Alessandra is fixing Ellie's assorted wounds she speaks quietly to the Lore Warden.

"I know you and Gabbi don't always get on, and I can live with that. But please hold off the personal jabs - Gabbi is... really quite sensitive. That's why she's always calling me the 'pretty one'. It's easier to handle if you've decided how it is, not someone else. She's going to ignore you for a while but if you could apologise to her it'd do a lot for her." Her hand runs gently down Ellie's side, leaving a trail of goosebumps behind. "And I'd really appreciate it too." She finishes, before pulling back a little.

"What you said earlier, about bloodsuckers. We can tone it down if that would help - I don't want to make any of you feel uncomfortable."

Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

SM DC28 (Gabbi can read without check):
Allie is doing a good job of hiding behind a chipper facade, but she's genuinely worried and upset at the thought that Ellie might not like her as she is/

Ellie looks temporarily blank as Alessandra talks to her - she wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying during the heat of melee - before-

"Oh - oh! No, wait, I..." She's about to say more, before realising that she's addressing the wrong twin.

Forthright as ever, she walks straight up to Gabbi. "Uh... sorry. I say a lot of stupid stuff in the middle of combat and I'm just letting off steam. Please don't take it seriously, my brain was focusing on not getting killed rather than on what I was saying."

She twists on the spot, embarrassed. "I, uh, I should have used a better word than 'bloodsuckers' - you were right to tell me off. But, uh, maybe next time wait until I'm not in the middle of combat?"


Game Concluded

Gabbi avoids Ellie's eyes as she listens to the Lore Warden.

"It's no big deal," she says finally with a dismissive wave of her hand. "You're blonde. I'm pale and uninteresting. Nobody said anything that was a revelation to anyone. No need to apologize."

She steps past the tall woman.

"Let's keep moving."

Ellie looks relieved. "Oh good. I'm so glad things are ok now." She gives Gabbi a pleased smile and moves on, ready to fight whatever else might be lurking out there.

Ellie has many strengths but Sense Motive is not one of them :)


RETIRED - ascended to godhood.

There's a smacking sound from behind Ellie as Allie whacks her own fist into her forehead. "Gods save me from sisters and attractive blondes." She murmurs before pursuing the Lore Warden, although she pauses to give her sister a most unsisterly pat as she passes.

Gabbi:
{"I think you're perfect."}

Catching up with Ellie she taps the blonde on the shoulder and then shakes her as the woman turns.

"I don't like stereotypes but my god Ellie you are the perfect blonde. My sister can't lie her way out of something she didn't do! Let alone the important things!" She sighs in exasperation. "I know we've got things to do here and now but later we are going to have a talk, all three of us. Because she lied to you Ellie. She's not ok and neither are 'things'."
